Creative launches 4GB and 8GB Zen Stone Plus

Creative has launched a 4GB and 8GB version of its ultra-mini Creative Stone Plus MP3 player. The 4GB version will cost £69.99, while the 8GB version will be just short of £100.

The new size is between four and eight times the capacity of the iPod Shuffle and the same amount of space as Apple's iPod Nano. It has a tiny screen and can't play video, but it does have a radio with 32 presets and microphone for live voice notes.
